Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbon disulfide (0.26 mL, 4.4 mmol) was added to a mixture comprising 5-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (0.23 g, 1.5 mmol), tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL), water (1.0 mL) and triethylamine (0.51 mL, 3.6 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature for 17 hours. The obtained reaction mixture was dropwise added to a tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) solution of iodine (0.41 g, 1.6 mmol) over a period of 5 minutes at 0° C., followed by stirring at 0° C. for further 2.5 hours. Thereafter, 1M hydrochloric acid (1.5 mL) and sodium sulfite (38 mg, 0.30 mmol) were added and mixed. Then, ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added, and the organic layer was separated and concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. To the residue, ethyl acetate (6 mL) and water (1 mL) were added, and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness to obtain 5-isothiocyanato-2-hydroxybenzoic acid as a gray solid (0.29 g, yield: 100%, HPLC purity: 97%, HPLC retention time: 4.3 min). LC-MS ES-194 (retention time: 4.4 min, condition 1).
